The tribe Cantacaderini (sensu Froeschner 1996) was studied morphologically and phylogenetically, and its systematic position within Tingidae s. lato was estimated. The cladistic analysis at the tribal level within Tingidae s. lato has shown the subfamily Cantacaderinae is apolyphyletic taxon; moreover, it identified the tribe Phatnomatini (sensu Froeschner 1996) as asister group of the subfamily Tinginae, while the tribe Cantacaderini (sensu Froeschner 1996) as an evolutionary lineage is quite separate from Phatnomatini (both have hither to been united within Cantacaderinae). A new classification of the superfamily Tingoidea is proposed, that includesits division into three families, i.e. the Cantacaderidae (new family status), the Tingidae with twosubfamilies, Phatnomatinae (new subfamily status) and Tinginae, and the Vianaididae. On the basis of the cladistic analysis at the generic level, the Cantacaderidae is divided into two subfamilies, i.e. Cantacaderinae Stål (sensu novo) and Carldrakeaninae subfam. nov.; moreover, the former was proved to consist of two tribes, namely Cantacaderini s. str.and Ceratocaderini trib. nov. The ancestral area for the whole family was estimated, and its historical biogeography was also discussed. Furthermore, diagnostic characters for the family, subfamilies, tribes and all the genera, witha list of their species (including data on type material and distribution) are presented. Lectotypesare designated for Piesma tingidoides Spinola, 1852, Cantacader attenuatus Distant, 1902 ,Cantacader lethierryi Scott, 1874, and Cantacader uniformis Distant, 1902.
